The Dixie Center in Ruston will be holding the concert, Piano Virtuosos, with Stephanie Trick and her husband Paolo Alderighi this Thursday, October 27th at 7 P.M.
Stephanie and Paolo perform stride, a style of jazz piano playing in which the right hand plays the melody while the left hand plays a single bass note or octave on the strong beat and a chord on the weak beat. This unique style of music originated in the 1920's, and is often not played anymore. Stride allows a single artist or pair of artists to create the sounds of a whole orchestra.
Stephanie and Paolo have been touring the world with their music. Lawrence Gibbs, a board member at the Dixie Center, says that he luckily found the duo, " quite by chance... simply looking for a video."
This concert will be $25 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Dixie Center on the night of the event.
